Catabolic effects and the influence on hormonal variables under treatment with gynodian-depot® or dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) oenanthate

53 patients from a mainly climacteric population were treated monthly with 200 mg dehydro-epiandrosterone (DHEA) oenanthate or with 1 ampoule Gynodian-Depot®. Pronounced adiposity was present in 15 of these cases. Hormonal variables were determined before the treatment and during the depot effect of the preparations in order to study the principle which supports the oestrogenic influence and any weight-reducing influence under administration of DHEA. The elimination of lowpolar oestrogens increased considerably in 4 out of 13 post-menopausal cases treated with DHEA. This effect is probably indirect and presupposes intact ovaries. The incorporation of exogenous DHEA into the excretion of 17-ketosteroids and of 17-ketogenic steroids, such as those of androsterone + aethiocholanolone, depends on the size of the initial pool inasmuch as it is higher in small initial pools than in saturated pools - the size of the pool being age-dependent.

An average weight loss of >1 kg/mth was observed under DHEA treatment in 7 out 15 adipose cases. In comparison to the other 8 adipose cases, these 7 were younger and therefore also displayed higher values for 17-ketosteroids and their individual fractions. These circumstances appeared to explain why the administration of DHEA resulted in higher levels of free plasma DHEA which, in contrast to the cases without loss of weight, also resulted in an increase of renal DHEA-sulphate clearance. It was concluded from the findings that this is the explanation for the catabolic effect of exogenous DHEA.

Post-menopausally increased FSH and LH fractions were markedly suppressed in about half of the determinations after Gynodian-Depot administration, the findings indicating that DHEA is probably involved in suppression of the LH fraction.     

两步极体活检对小鼠卵母细胞体外受精和胚胎发育的影响

目的评价两步活检一、二极体对小鼠卵母细胞体外受精(IVF)和相应胚胎发育的影响。方法8～12周龄雌、雄昆明小鼠。雌鼠促排卵,取成熟卵母细胞行卵胞浆内单精子注射(ICSI),序贯培养胚胎至囊胚孵出。分别于ICSI后激光透明带打孔活检第一极体,两步活检一、二极体,在受精后打孔同时活检一、二极体。比较各处理组与对照组受精、卵裂、优质胚胎、囊胚形成、扩张和孵出情况。结果两步活检一、二极体和同时活检一、二极体受精率、卵裂率、优质胚胎率和囊胚形成率与对照组均无明显差异。启动孵出率明显高于对照组;完全孵出率虽高于对照组,但无统计学意义。结论一、二极体活检不影响小鼠卵母细胞IVF和相应胚胎发育,而且可能有助于胚胎孵出,是安全可行的植入前遗传学诊断(PGD)活检取材方法,以两步活检法为最佳极体活检方案。     

Single-dose pharmacokinetics of paracetamol and its conjugates in Chinese non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients with renal impairment

Objective: A single oral dose of paracetamol (20 mg · kg⁻¹) was given to 38 Chinese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) who had either normal renal function or varying degrees of renal impairment, with creatinine clearances ranging from 4 to 123 ml · min⁻¹ · 1.73 m⁻². The plasma and urinary concentrations of paracetamol and its major metabolites were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results: The absorption and elimination of paracetamol were unaffected by renal impairment. However, the area under the plasma concentration time curve and the elimination half-life of paracetamol metabolites increased significantly with worsening renal insufficiency. Mean renal clearances of paracetamol and its conjugates were significantly reduced in these subjects. There was no evidence of altered metabolic activation with renal impairment. Conclusion: The results demonstrate that paracetamol disposition is minimally affected by diabetic nephropathy; however, extensive accumulation of conjugates may occur.

Flow of cells from polar to mural trophectoderm is polarized in the mouse blastocyst

During growth of the blastocyst there is a net flow of cells from the polar to the mural trophectoderm which is presumed to be radially symmetrical. However, such a pattern of cell movement is inconsistent with findings from a recent clonal analysis. To visualize the overall flow of cells directly, the polar trophectoderm of expanding blastocysts was labelled globally with fluorescent microspheres. Following further growth, the great majority of blastocysts that remained labelled throughout the polar trophectoderm exhibited a polarized rather than radial spread of label into the mural region. This was the case regardless of the labelling technique, whether the blastocysts were grown in utero or in vitro, or had the zona pellucida removed or left on. Intriguingly, where there were two foci of spread of label into the mural trophectoderm rather than one, these were diametrically opposite each other. In further experiments, fluorescent lineage labels were used to distinguish junctional trophectoderm cells with and without an extension onto the blastocoelic surface of the inner cell mass. The location of clones formed following further blastocyst growth provided no evidence that egress of cells from the polar trophectoderm is restricted circumferentially by the presence of junctional cells having an extension.     

Rescue ICSI of oocytes that failed to extrude the second polar body 6 h post-insemination in conventional IVF

BACKGROUND: Attempts to 'rescue' by ICSI oocytes that remained unfertilized 24 h after conventional IVF have generally resulted in poor outcomes. The aim of the present study was to compare the outcome of rescue ICSI performed on one group of patients 6 h after initial insemination with those of another group where rescue ICSI was performed 22 h after initial insemination. METHODS: Twenty-five patient IVF cycles provided the oocytes for rescue ICSI 6 h after initial insemination, and 20 cycles provided the oocytes for rescue ICSI 22 h after initial insemination in this retrospective study. Fertilization and cleavage rates, embryo quality, implantation, and pregnancy rates after rescue ICSI were the main outcome measures. RESULTS: A fertilization rate of 70.3% was achieved with 6 h rescue ICSI compared with 48.5% with 22 h rescue ICSI (P < 0.0001). From 6 h rescue ICSI, 12 clinical pregnancies (48.0%) resulted in three sets of twins, eight singletons and one abortion. From 22 h rescue ICSI there was one (5.0%) singleton pregnancy and delivery of a healthy baby. Likewise, the implantation rate was 20.2% from 6 h rescue ICSI compared with 1.72% from 22 h rescue ICSI (P < 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Rescue ICSI after 6 h post-insemination (46 h post-HCG) gave better fertilization, pregnancy and implantation rates compared with rescue ICSI after 22 h when oocytes have become aged.

Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability of Asiaticoside,Madecassoside and Asiatic Acid in Porcine Brain Endothelial Cell Model

Neurotherapeutic potentials of Centella asiatica and its reputation to boost memory, prevent cognitive deficits and improve brain functions are widely acknowledged. The plant's bioactive compounds, i.e. asiaticoside, madecassoside and asiatic acid were reported to have central nervous system (CNS) actions, particularly in protecting the brain against neurodegenerative disorders. Hence, it is important for these compounds to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to be clinically effective therapeutics. This study aimed to explore the capability of asiaticoside, madecassoside and asiatic acid to cross the BBB using in vitro BBB model from primary porcine brain endothelial cells (PBECs). Our findings showed that asiaticoside, madecassoside and asiatic acid are highly BBB permeable with apparent permeability (P_app) of 70.61 ± 6.60, 53.31 ± 12.55 and 50.94 ± 10.91 × 10^?6 cm/s respectively. No evidence of cytotoxicity and tight junction disruption of the PBECs were observed in the presence of these compounds. Asiatic acid showed cytoprotective effect towards the PBECs against oxidative stress. This study reported for the first time that Centella asiatica compounds demonstrated high capability to cross the BBB, comparable to central nervous system drugs, and therefore warrant further development as therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
